Among personal care products, quaternium-15 is prominently featured as a preservative in items such shampoos, soaps, shaving and cosmetics. The widespread use of these products people's daily routines contributes to release into aquatic ecosystems. In this context, the primary aim study was assess physiological cellular responses digestive gland gills Mytilus galloprovincialis exposure. Cell viability ability cells regulate their volume were evaluated. Additionally, expression genes involved oxidative stress response assessed further substantiate compound's harmful effects. Results indicated significant decrease both RVD (regulatory decrease) capacity when exposed hypotonic solution. Furthermore, impairment cell function corroborated by modulation stress-related gene expression, including SOD, Cat, well Hsp70 CYP4Y1. Similar alterations observed gills, reflecting impaired functionality vital organ well. summary, outcomes provide conclusive evidence toxicity quaternium-15.

The odd couple: Caffeine and microplastics. Morphological and physiological changes in Mytilus galloprovincialis

Microscopy Research and Technique, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 87(5), P. 1092 - 1110

Published: Jan. 22, 2024

Abstract In recent years, the presence of pharmaceuticals and microplastics (MPs) in aquatic ecosystems has raised concerns about their environmental impact. This study explores combined effects caffeine, a common pharmaceutical pollutant, MPs on marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis . Caffeine, at concentrations 20.0 μg L −1 , (1 mg 35–50 μm size range), was used to mimic real‐world exposure scenarios. Two hundred M. specimens were divided into four groups: MPs, Mix (caffeine + MPs), Control. After two‐week acclimation period, mollusks subjected these pollutants oxygen‐aerated aquariums under controlled conditions for 14 days. Histopathological assessments performed evaluate gill morphology. Cellular volume regulation digestive gland cell viability also analyzed. Exposure caffeine induced significant morphological changes gills, including cilia loss, ciliary disk damage, cellular alterations. The chitinous rod supporting filaments suffered potentially due MP interactions, leading hemocyte infiltration filament integrity compromise. Hemocytic aggregation suggested an inflammatory response caffeine. addition, cells revealed potential damage membranes function, with impaired regulation, particularly group, raising nutrient metabolism disruption organ function These findings underscore vulnerability emphasize need monitoring mitigation efforts. Research Highlights synergy warrants investigation. could affect morphology Caffeine‐exposed had lower than control group NR retention test. mix‐exposed struggled recover volume.
